Now that the (not much of a) mystery as to the real identity of The Foxboro Hot Tubs - Green Day, in case you weren't there when those meddling kids...- I move on to figuring out just which Kinks record it is that "Red Tide" emulates. Calling in Inspector Kmatt for clandestine conferences in the opium lounge helped to narrow the list to "Tired Of Waiting For You" and "Set Me Free" with "All Day and All Of The Night" as the opening shot. Still, there's something else in there and it's right on the tip of my stylus...
Turning to lyrical content and "Baby's hour of darkness", I hope that red tide is a crafty play on chemical based depression as algal bloom and not the more obvious, and therefore sophomoric, monthly upheaval. If it's all three, well... then it gets an A+ for doing it's science homework and passes on to begin junior year and a seat at my lunch table.
